Eclectic is completely written in bash and unifies different tasks in one tool with a consistent user interfaces. Up to now, eclectic can handle mulitple tasks using the following modules: * bashcomp: Configure and list bash completetions, thus obsoletes app-shells/bash-completion-config. * blas,lapack: Switch between implementations of virtual/{blas,lapack}. This obsoletes sci-libs/{blas,lapack}-config (which are bogus). * profile: List and switch Gentoo portage profiles. Check if selected profile is valid in regard to used "ARCH". * mailer: Manage the mailwrapper profiles in /etc/mail. * kernel: Manage the /usr/src/linux symlink. Work on further modules is in progress like: * vi: Manage the upcoming vi symlink for parallel installs of vi clones. (vi, nvi, vim, gvim) * icu and ilasm: Manage the different free implementation of .NET. Eclectic has a library concept for shared function. It features common code for configuration, output and multilib handling. There is a both a developer guide and a user guide as RST shipped with the source. Currently, eclectic's source[2] is hosted at berlios.de due to our decission to use Subversion as SCM. As soon as GLEP 36[3] has been implemented, we would like to move to a Gentoo repository. Questions - --------- * What do we need to accomplish to get the status of an "Official Gentoo Project" ? Is a manager voting necessary ? * What do the maintainers of Gentoo's various -config and -update scripts think about converting their scripts into eclectic modules ? * What is the best place for eclectic in the portage tree? app-admin as it is an administrative tool? Or rather app-portage as it should be used together with Gentoo only?
